On June 24th, Nam Can Tho University held a ceremony to announce the establishment of the DNC International Medical Faculty. This faculty will be responsible for receiving and training international students in health-related programs that have been licensed for training at the university. Notable students include those from India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal; as well as from the Middle East and many other countries.
Mr. Mahesh Chand Giri, Consul General of India in Ho Chi Minh City, stated that the need for well-trained, flexible, and competent medical professionals is extremely important.
At the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, Rector of Nam Can Tho University, stated that the university currently offers 42 undergraduate programs, 6 master's programs, and 1 doctoral program. Notably, the university has been officially included in the list of medical universities that meet the criteria set by the American website WDOMS (World Directory of Medical Schools).
